"Yellow Martin?"
Raleigh, NC - February 2009 (Click to embiggen)
I think this guy is called a "Purple Martin", but I have no idea why. He doesn't look anywhere near purple to me. Although I've seen purple bruises turn this color as they faded... Maybe that's it. Nah. Couldn't be.
Stumble This!

Mojo, that is one cute, fat little bird! And I love the sky as a background in that crayola blue! Great shot!
Happy Blue Monday...

That is a beautiful photograph. I wish I could help with the origin of the nam but I'm batting zer. Have a wonderful day.
I love fat birds...and what a gloriously colored sky!
Great photo. So cute and round that little fella or gal:)

I don't think it is a purple martin, but he/she is still fun to look at, especially against the gorgeous blue sky.
a beautiful bird... whatever it is! Happy Blue Monday ~ Susan
Perhaps a tufted titmouse against a most beautiful blue sky. What a backdrop cutie bird has there.
Well I can't tell for sure but it looks like a cedar waxwing to me. I see a little mask.
Purdy blue sky and cute little tweeter there Mojo!
